Brighton has yet again hosted a truely fabulous Pride festival, maintaining its reputation for being the gay and bi capital of the UK. For the last few years Brighton has put on a week of events, one of the largest Pride festivals in Europe.
Worldwide one of the original and previously the best 'Gay festivals' was held in Sydney - The Mardi Gras. Sydney has long welcomed gay tourism to its shores. I was lucky enough to be in Sydney a few years ago for the 2001 Gay Pride and was awestruck by the spectacle of the swirling costumes, dancing bands and the traditional "Dykes on bikes" parade. Of all the Sydney outdoor festivals, it is perhaps one of the most colourful, vibrant and fun to attend.
